Brighton's Phantom Runners Release 'Laserbeam' as Free Download
Whilst we might still be in the icy throes of Winter, Brighton-based Phantom Runners are basking in the self-serving sunshine they've crafted themselves with their free download, 'Laserbeam'. It may feel somewhat premature, but the warm haze perpetuated by the track (and indeed the band and their self-coined 'Feel Good' sound) is difficult to ignore, despite being as laid back and as understated as it is.
“We wanted a track that kind of felt like you were in another realm. Like a lucid façade of colours with an imaginary girl.” ambitious and somewhat psychedelic the band's description may be but the reality is that 'Laserbeam' really does manage to uphold elements of the transcendental, and whilst it may not possess the aspects of otherworldliness that are suggested above, it certainly manages to transport listeners away from the grey monotony of a British winter, dropping them in a more exotic locale, no matter how briefly.
